atopic diseases

Atopic diseases are allergic conditions caused by an overactive immune response to harmless substances, such as pollen, dust, or certain foods. Common examples include eczema (dry, itchy skin), asthma (breathing difficulty), and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). These conditions often run in families and involve inflammation triggered by allergens. While they can be chronic, managing exposure to triggers and using medications can help control symptoms. Atopic diseases reflect an inherited tendency for the immune system to overreact to environmental substances, leading to inflammation and allergy symptoms.
